Michigan Stadium "The Big House" dedication...
THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, Friday, October 21, 1927
- Michigan Stadium "The Big House" opening
- Formal dedication (EVE) - Wolverines
- NCAA College football - Michigan-Ohio State rivalry
The front page of section two (sports) (pg. 29) has a banner heading: "TWO REGULAR PLACES ON MICHIGAN TEAM UNDECIDED" with subheads. Also a one column heading: "85,000 TO SEE MICHIGAN PLAY" with subhead: "Governors of Two States To Take Part in Exercises Dedicating Stadium"
Page 30 has a banner heading: "ROPER CALLS MICHIGAN O. S. U. GAME TOMORROW A TOSS-UP" Also a one column heading: "Stadium's Cost Passes Million" with chart of expenditures in forming the "Big House". (see images)
A great item for any Wolverines fan. Nice to have in a Michigan publication.
Complete with 56 pages, light toning, some margin wear, a few punch holes near the spine that slightly affects text, generally good. Should be handled with care.
